Every drop of it is a mass of many water-bodied souls. The many minute animalculae seem under the microscope are foreign or other souls. They are not water bodied souls Water-bodied souls have water and that alone the matter of their bodies. Similarly the earth etc, souls
As to the forms, the bodies of earth, water, fire and air souls, they are respectively oval like a pea of masoora (seed), round like a drop of water, long cylindrical with pointed tips like a collection of needless. and oblong like a flog. (J.K. 22).
